Overview
Description

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta follows the Spartan warrior Kratos as he journeys across Greece to discover the truth about his brother's death and his own origins. The game expands the series' signature hack‑and‑slash combat with deeper storytelling and new mythological foes. Featuring stunning visuals for the handheld, intense boss battles, and a richer narrative, Ghost of Sparta delivers a cinematic experience that bridges the gap between the original PlayStation titles and the later console releases.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
